How anyone can support high taxes just boggles my mind. It just does not compute with me...like trying to divide by zero.

Just because it's the government taking the money doesn't mean it isn't stealing.

It's called a social contract. The alternative is savagery.

i certainly didnt sign this contract.

what are the terms and conditions? can i re-negociate this contract.

i really really really dont like this non-voluntary contract.

It would be interesting to see you discuss things with John Locke. 

In regards to contracts, there are things called "common law marriages" where no contract is signed, no conditions were negotiated, and it just happened, and end result is a contractual relationship.  Consent can also be formed by what you do and remain complicient with.  And there is things where it isn't about what you alone decide but what others have.   Of course, private property is a BIG help to resolve this, but no guarantee private property resolves everything.

A big riddle though is how to make it work without coercion.   Fre societies need this, but humans will tend to only do things when pressured.
